Call Me!

How do you create physical theatre for the Skins generation? Make it revolve largely around mobile phones, chuck in some teenage romance and dispense of anything particularly meaningful, if Swish’s new production is anything to go by. 

The story itself is so simple and well-worn that perhaps the best use of Call Me! would be as a 90-second mobile phone television ad. Girl-loses-phone, boy-finds-phone, you can probably, no, definitely, guess the rest. None of this is helped by the fact that The Beatles are used on at least three separate occasions, a rather good indicator of just how much this show turns to cliché at almost every opportunity. Guys, more substance plz. Srsly. Thx xx
